2006 Gosset Grand Millesimes F+R Selection (2nd ed)

Now at 13 years of age, this beautifully mature blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, comes from 70% Grand Cru sites and the remainder from Premier Cru sites. With an additional three years on the lees in comparison to Gosset's regular Grand Millesime 2006 Brut, this has additional toasty, savoury notes and a complex multi-layered texture that's absolutely stunning and makes it an ideal accompaniment to a festive feast. A truly unique offering, each magnum is individually numbered and comes in its own unique gift box - which also makes this perfect as a Christmas gift. Bursting with fragrance - fresh apple pie, sweet pastry, honey and citrus fruit aromas leap out of the glass. The palate is rich, with a fleshy mid-palate weight yet not missing that signature taut poise and precision you expect from Gosset. There is a fine line of acidity running right down the middle of the palate giving nice verticality and a long finish. 11 years on the lees gives this wine exceptional integration and complexity without losing its bright, uplifting, pulsing energy.
